Have a Beautiful snow storm here and enjoying every minute of it.  We are suppose to get a good foot or more.  Temp in -7 , wind is blowing and drifting the snow.  Many things are shut down schools, etc..  But finally we get moister that is needed so much.  I hope it continues.  Many parts of the country need and want moisture for all those that make there living that way.

Hmmmm......My Aussie counterparts can confirm that it is HOT!

Only a low 37C in Canberra today but with a huge portion of NSW reaching 45C (113F).

As Lynchy said it is bloody hot and unfortunately the wind is building up so all the devastating bushfires throughout Australia are taking ages to get under control.  Two years ago it was floods and already another hurricane is brewing off Western Australia.  Despite all that Australia is a great place to live - and be sly.

Okay, this is a picture I found on the net today, the beauty and contradiction in the destructive power of Nature--

Feels like perpetual spring here in Boston––relatively warm, but not warm enough that you can't go out without at least packing some thin gloves in your pockets. And the days are still really short. The worst type of weather. Can't wait for summer, beers, and baseball season.

That's an awesome pic Saintc, thanks for sharing.

I feel for you guys north of the border. Have you managed to get below 30 yet? Down in Geelong we are bum scrapping to stay in the 20s this weekend. Wish it would stay hot for the weekends down here! We seem to always been getting cool changes Friday night at the moment then build back up to a sweltering Thursday/Friday.

It was cold here ( of course "cold" is a relative, or subjective term) @ around 25°F.  I am very interested in weather conditions, and in fact I have a weather page on the "net" http://www.canbyweather.com/

I do not mind posting the address here as it is not commercial, and definitely supplies me with no income, only outgo.

I also enjoy the weather.  The big blizzard that they had named and all only dropped about 2" made the roads mighty slippery .  Wind did blow and temps did drop to - 8 as of the time I am writing this.   :(  Hope fully we will get some moisture as the farmers, ranchers, and much of the money comes from this in my area.   And we are not the only ones , there are many states.

As of right now, we still have 2 1/2' of snow on the ground. It is very bitterly cold and windy lately. The other day when I was heading to work, it was -4 F

It's been unseasonably warm here the last few days. About 54 degrees F yesterday and the same today BUT we have had relentless, thick fog. The fog didn't clear until about 2 PM yesterday afternoon and it rolled right back in last night. My 60 mile drive to work this AM was slow because the fog is so thick.

It's a brisk 11 (F) here, the high will plunge to 30. Happily, we've no wind-unusual for us-or we'd be easily in the minus numbers. On the other hand, a friend called from Melbourne-they're attending the Australian Open-and said it was so hot, it was discreetly suggested that unless you carried water-not spirits-salt tabs, hats, fans, loose fitting clothing etc. that you may wish to find other diversions. Such as go sea bathing, look for sharks-not all of whom will be wearing white and holding racquets.

I was as a Boy Scout winter Klondike camporee this weekend. It was UNSEASONABLLY warm. We got there on Friday night and the low was in the 40's. On Saturday, it got up to the low 70's. There were scouts in shorts and kilts at a winter campout. Saturday night it was in the low 50's. All in all, not bad weather for a winter camping event.

Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

Lots of global warming here in the Sacramento Valley.
Can't remember having to run the heater as much aas we've had to do this winter.

Hating the cold!  >:(
